All they have to do is, instead of calling it a "law", call it "militia regulation" instead. "Militia" is the entire arms bearing populace; if you own a gun, you are, by definition, part of the Militia. And the 2nd amendment doesn't merely say "everyone has a gun"; it does so in context of maintaining a "well regulated militia". All the right to "keep and bear arms" does is prevent them from requiring we store our arms in a central armory (which was one of the controversies over the matter in England when the right was in development).

I would say we also have a right to own a car. That doesn't prevent them from requiring we maintain the capacity to bear responsibility if we should accidentally exercise that right improperly.

Discomfort stimulates growth, but the actual growth happens during periods of recovery. That is true of the body, and I have little doubt it is true of the mind, as well. I'm not saying people should never step out of their comfort zone. But just like we shouldn't be judging people at the gym because, from our perspective, they should be able to do more, we should be extending compassion to those of us who have difficulties in the mind, particularly considering we can only know our own perspective, not theirs. I mean, you wouldn't expect a guy in a wheel chair to be doing leg presses, would you?

I've probably seen it here more than on Reddit, but that's because I spend more time in the general gaming community here, while on Reddit I was in the fan community specifically... particularly teslore, where "Duh, TES lore is stupid and random" doesn't get much traction.

Would you recommend NMS to someone who:

  1. Really wants to play Starfield but probably won't have the necessary hardware for at least a year.

  2. Is an old Bethsoft fan, having played, and thoroughly enjoyed, every TES game from Daggerfall to Online, excepting only Battlespire and the phone games.

  3. Has been jonesing for some space sandbox for probably a decade at least.

I don't know much about specs. I just find it fascinating that people are actually defending Bethesda in this post. Where's the standard anti-Bethesda fandumb pile on?

Sweet.

What is this an excerpt from?

Mario games are all right, except for all the platform jumping.

You don't need the biggest map ever to make a good game. You do, however, need the biggest map ever to make a good Elder Scrolls game. People referring to BG3 don't really understand the essence of the Elder Scrolls, a vision the series has pursued all the way back to Arena.

No, show her your Bionicle collection.

The occupant should own the land. Absentee landlordism shouldn't be a thing.

Empty housing is empty land. It just has a house on it. And there are times and places where landowners will spend decades sitting on infill waiting for land values to go up. Additionally, land that could be developed into high density housing but is being held at low density at the behest of the area's politically connected residents, is kind of like "empty" land. It isn't a binary.

 

I feel like Crunchyroll used to have it, but I searched for it and couldn't find it. Myanimelist suggested HiDive might have it, but so far as I can tell it doesn't. Does nobody have it any more?

Also, how is Crunchyroll deciding what can be watched with free account and what requires premium? I got an urge to watch some Laid Back Camp, which came out many years ago at this point, and they're requiring premium for that? I went over a year not watching any anime, so I'm kind of out of the loop on the streaming scene.
